The best part of being a food blogger is the sense of community and friendship that develops with other like minded writers. Thanks to things like Twitter and Facebook, the ability to connect with each other increases every day, and I'm at no loss for inspiration, a quick answer or even a shoulder to cry on most days. I've been part of Twitter chats, photo events, contests and competitions and of course blogging events over the years and I've even been lucky enough to have met a few fellow bloggers in person.

While I haven't met Carla (Chocolate Moosey), Jen (Juanita's Cucina) or Isabel (Family Foodie) in person, I consider them friends and am grateful that I can share stories with them and the rest of the #SundaySupper community every week. I've drooled (figuratively) over their recipes and often wished I had more people to cook for (and more money) so that I could make everything I've laid my eyes on! Clearly I've been stalking Carla's page these days, given my obsession with her strawberry curd (I still have one thing to show you how to use it for!) but the other day I re-read one of her #SundaySupper posts and knew I had to make a version of it.

I'm a fan of the daytime show The Chew, and when I started making the cookies I figured since there was already bacon, booze and butter in the mix (Michael Symon is proudly fond of bacon and butter), I could give a nod to Daphne Oz' tastes with home-dried fruit, tofu and her notorious psyllium husk. The butterscotch chips were for me, since in my opinion bacon needs something sweet with it (as a kid brunch staples were crisp bacon and homefries with maple syrup!). While Carla is not a fan of butterscotch, I hope she'll appreciate my rendition - I know my butterscotch adoring dad and the ladies at the salon I took the batch to did!

A Special #SundaySupper

This #SundaySupper is celebrated with Katie Workman, author of the Mom 100 Cookbook. Katie believes and promotes the fact that feeding our families doesn’t have to be stressful! Katie shares the one hundred recipes that she found as a working wife and mother of two that are great-tasting and that every mom can rely on, share and feel good about.

We are honored to have Katie as our guest during our #SundaySupper live chat at 7:00 pm est. Join us and chat with Katie about being a mom, kids and Spending time Around the Family Table.

The recipes made for this event were chosen from the ones made during the first Mom 100 Event. We could make the recipes verbatim or take our own tack, like I did.

We will be giving away 3 copies of the Mom 100 Cookbooks. This is an event you don’t want to miss!!

Here are some favorites we will be sharing with you during #SundaySupper this week:

We will be sharing great family recipes all afternoon and want you to share yours with us! #SundaySupper starts every week at 3:00pm EST by showcasing fabulous recipes. Follow us on twitter by using hashtag #Sundaysupper or using Tweetchat. We love to feature your recipes on our #sundaysupper pinterest board and share them with all our followers.

Isn't it fun how close the #SundaySupper group has gotten over the past few months...I've met such incredible cooks. And here you are with such a unique twist on cookies! Did you save me a couple? I would definitely love to sample one with my afternoon tea!

This recipe looks amazing! On my must try list. I am so honored that you are such a big part of our #SundaySupper Group. It truly is amazing the wonderful people that have been brought together by this movement. Thank you for being such a loyal contributor and friend!
